Abstract
casin is not known. Wehave found an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to MAMin leaves of Japanese cycad. This paper describes cycasin formation by the crude enzymefrom cycad leaves. ADP-glucose, GDP-glucose, yeast a-glucosidase (Type I), and almond /?-glucosidase (Type II) were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co., Glucomesser reagent from Shinotesto Co., and other reagents from
